Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Santa Cruz, California

Like my Cave Man friend I decided to take Santa Cruz's Sky Glider across the park.  Beneath me is the really cool looking Looff Carousel building.

I do want to put out a piece of advice that I wish I had thought of.  Santa Cruz is in NORTHERN California and it does get cold here.

By the time I sat down on the Sky Glider it was about forty-five degrees out and I had not packed any sort of a sweat shirt or coat.

I do have to say that I was surprised that these photos turned out so well as much as I was shivering while taking them.

Looking at these pictures of the Giant Dipper so many months later as I sit down to finish up this Trip Report it reminds me of what a stunning coaster it is.  You have to work hard to get a bad picture of the ride as beautiful as it is.
